The present invention relates to an improvement in methods for producing parts for lipstickholders and the like and relates in particular to the production of the so-called "elevatoror carrier-members for such holders.

One of the objects oi the present invention is to provide a superior method for producing cuplike carrier-members for adjustable lipsticks and the like.

A further object is to provide a superior method whereby carriers of the class referred to may be rapidly and economically produced and provided with operating projections intermediate their respective upper and lower-ends.

With the above and other objects in view, as will appear to those skilled in the art from the following, considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing and appended claims, the present invention includes all features disclosed therein which are novel over the prior art.

in the accompanying drawing:

Fig. l is a view in side elevation of one form of lipstick having an elevator or carrier produced in accordance with the present invention;

his. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof taken on the line d-d of Fig. l;

Fig. 3 is a view mainly in side elevation and partly in section oi the lipstick-holder with the cover-member removed Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the carrier or elevator-member;

Fig. 5 is a persmctive view of a blank from which the carrier-member may be produced;

Fig. 6 is a view partly in side elevation and partly in transverse section of a mrtly-drawn blank;

Fig. 7 is a similar view of the blank after the same has been subjected to a further forming operation;

Fig. 8 is a top or plan view of the partlyiormed blank of Fig. 7;

Fig. 91s a view partly in side elevation and partly in transverse been subjected to a still further operation; and

Fig. 10 is a top or plan view of the unit shown in Fig. 9.

One mode of practicing the present method comprises drawing a disk-like blank (Fig. 5) into the form shown in Fig. 6, in which the partially-drawn blank includes a tubular wall-porq tion it and an annular flared wall-portion 22 terminating in a laterally-extending flange 23. The partially-formed blank also includes a bot tom wall 24 having, if desired, a central perforation 25.

' may now be section after the blank has nal slot 36 extending The partially-formed blank of Fig. 6 may now be subjected to a further drawing or forming operation, whereby the metal of the flared wallportion 22 is largely deflected into a boss-like lateral projection generally designated by the numeral 28 and including an'outer wall 21, a bottom wall 28 and complementary side-walls 29-29. In the operation of forming the boss-like projection to, part of such metal of the blank as is not deflected to form the said boss is drawn to add to the length of the tubular wall 2! and to increase the face width of the flange 23 of Fig. 6 into the wider flange 30 of Figs. 7 and 8. The boss-like projection 26 as thus formed opens inwardly into the hollow interior of the blank and also opens upwardly through the face of the said flange $0.

The partly-formed blank of Figs. 7 and 8 may now be cut to even up the periphery of its flange 3t and to remove the metal of the said flange at from connection with the upper terminal of the boss 26, thus converting the said hollow boss 26 before referred to into the hollow operatingprojection or nib at of Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive. 'lhe cutting-away operation just referred to results in providing the now tnmmed-and-sized flange dd with opposed radial terminal edges ii-at, as illustrated particularly well in Fig. ill.

The nearly-completed blank of Figs. 9 and is subjected to a drawing or other forming operation by means of which the laterally-extending .i1 at is drawn upwardly to provide a continuation of the tubular portion it, which latter, by the operation just referred to,

is now caused to extend above the upper edge of the said hollow nib M, as well in Fig. 4.

It will thus be seen that by the process just described a completed carrier or elevator 33 of cupshaped form. is produced having the upper edge of its hollow operatingmrojection or nib 3i cated below the upper edge of the body-portion of the carrier or elevator proper.

The carrier or elevator 33 may be utilized in a variety of adjustable holders for lipsticks or other material, such, for instance, as the holder illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, which includes a, relatively-deep cup-shaped body-member 38 illustrated particularly having a series of annular beads 35 formed around its lower portion and provided with a longitudiat its lower end partway into the annular beads 35 of the said body-memher and being flared at its upper end as at 37 and intersecting the upper edge of the said bodymember.

Adjacent its upper end, the slot 36 of the bodymember 34 is shaped to provide a pair of stopshouiders 38-38 which serves to engage the upper edge of the operating-nib ll of the carrier 33 to thus limit the upward travel of the said carrier. When the carrier 33 is moved upwardly sufflclently to engage the upper edge of its operating-nib or boss 3| with the stop-shoulders 38-38 of the body-member 84, it will be noted that the upper edge of the said carrier proper is substantially flush with the upper edge of the said body-member M, as indicated by broken lines in Fig. 3.

when the carrier 33 rests upon the bottom wall 39 of the body-member 34, it will be noted that the upper edge of the nib 3| is in substantial alignment with the uppermost one of the beads 35. and when a cup-shaped cover or cap ll is sleeved over the upper portion of the said bodymember 34 to engage its lower edge with the uppermost one of the beads IS, the nib or boss I of the carrier 33 will lie at or below the lower edge of the said cap or cover ll.

Should the nature of the material from which the elevator or carrier is formed be of such character as to require annealing between operations, such annealing may be accomplished by means of methods usual in the art.

The invention may be carried out in other speciflc ways than that herein set forth without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the invention, and the present embodiment is, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all changes coming within the meaning and equivalency range of the appended claims are intended to be embraced therein.

I claim:

1. A process for producing a cup-shaped carrier member of the class described having an integral hollow boss laterally oflsetting from its side wall at a point intermediate its outer and inner ends comprising: shaping a blank to a form which includes a cup-like portion, a flange laterally-ofisetting from the outer end of the said cup-like portion and a laterally offsetting hollow boss adjoining both the said flange and the said cuplike portion; and subsequently deflecting the said laterally-extending flange into subsequent parailelisin with the axis or the member and beyond the outer edge oi the said boss to form a continuation of the said cup-like portion.

2. A process for producing a cup-shaped carrier member of the class described having an integral hollow boss laterally oiisetting from its side wall at a point intermediate its outer and inner ends comprising: shaping a blank to a form which includes a cup-like portion, a flange lateraily-oiisetting from the outer end of the said cup-like portion, and a laterally oiisetting hollow boss adjoining both the said flange and the said cup-like portion; cutting away the material of the said flange adjacent the upper edge of the said boss; and deflecting the said laterally-extending flange into substantial parallelism with the axis of the member and beyond the outer edge of the said boss to form a continuation or the said cup-like portion.

3. A process for producing a cup-shaped carrier member of the class described having an integral hollow boss laterally oflsetting from its side wall at a point intermediate its outer and inner ends comprising: forming a cup-shaped blank having an outwardly-flared portion; up-

setting the material of the said flared portion to form a laterally-offsetting integral hollow boss and further shaping the said outwardlyflared portion to produce outwardly-extending flange; and subsequently deflecting the said outwardly-extending flange into substantial parallelism with the ads of the member and beyond the outer edge of the said boss.

4. A process for producing a cup-shaped member of the class described having an integral hollow boss laterally offsetting from its side wall at a point intermediate its outer and inner ends comprising: forming a cup-shaped blank having an outwardly-flared portion; upsetting the material of the said flared portion to form a laterally-extending integral hollow boss; further shaping the said outwardly-flared portion to produce an outwardly-extending flange; removing the metal of the said outwardly-extending flange adjacent the outer edge of the said boss; and deflecting the said outwardly-extending flange into substantial parallelism with the axis of the member and beyond the outer edge of the said boss.
